Learning is not meant to be a lonely endeavor. I knew this before but helping the BFF work on the dissertation has cemented that for me. In order to do your best work you need help. You need people to bolster you and help you talk through things. You need mirrors to reflect back to you the concepts, thoughts, theories and general ramblings that are going on.
Like this blog, reflection and thought while often done alone are not meant to be lonesome or kept to oneself. Learning, thought, depth, ideas, creativity, questions are meant to be shared and expressed and discussed.
It has been a challenging lesson for me but one I am holding dearly to and working on daily. Life, learning and love are all meant to be shared - keeping them to yourself is lonely and seems selfish.
